Shambhala Training is a secular meditation training that develops fearlessness, confidence, openness and gentleness towards ourselves and our world. These qualities arise out of meditation practice and study of Shambhala warriorship. Shambhala Training welcomes people of all religious traditions as well as those who do not follow a particular spiritual path.
In Shambhala Training Level I: The Art of Being Human we will learn to experience the world as sacred and see basic goodness as our birthright.
Dan Hessey, a student of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche since 1973, began studying the Shambhala teachings in 1977 and has since taught all levels of Shambhala Training throughout the United States, as well as in Mexico and Australia. A former director of Shambhala Mountain, he currently serves on its Board of Directors. In addition to being a student of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Dan studies Chinese classics with Eva Wong.
